Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 11/13/2023 10:49 pm It's not a coin, but rather a token of some kind. You've already asked about it on the forum before, a year ago; here's the thread. Unfortunately, no-one had a definitive answer then. My best guess: a bus token of some kind. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6586 Posts	Posted 11/13/2023 11:40 pm It has some similarities to this essenmarke token on ebay. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/195947199531 That one says VBE essenmarke. I believe the symbol in the middle is the Mercedes logo. Could be a car wash token, employee lunch token, vending machine token. Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 11/14/2023 1:06 pm Essensmarke (Cafeteria or lunch token), that may be correct. Two Mercedes-Benz logos. Perhaps related to the M-B Werk in Sindelfingen, or even the M-B Museum in Stuttgart? The Uni T. and M-B do have quite a close relationship, including work-exchange (internship) and foreign learner programs (e.g. for someone who moved to Germany to work for M-B and does not speak German fluently) VBE = Verband Bildung und Erziehung (German Educators' Association/Teachers' Union) UT = Universität Tübingen Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6586 Posts	Posted 11/14/2023 1:23 pm I loved visiting Tubingen when I was in Germany! It's such a beautiful town, and the food was wonderful. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6586 Posts	Posted 11/14/2023 1:36 pm I found that related token in a catalog. Search for "Mercedes-Benz Werk Sindelfingen Essenmarke". https://www.house-of-collections.ch...ens/germany/ That's from a token collecting site, so the people who run it might have a much better chance at identifying the current token in question. It does indeed seem linked to M-B and the teacher's union, as paralyse suggested. Report this Post to the Staff
